Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and guidance while following the client's lead. This approach helps people who need a say in how their work proceeds and who want support that matches their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that create problems and then practice new, more effective responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and trouble sleeping because it gives clear skills to use between sessions.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms when trauma is a key concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Greg will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or for people who prefer typing. These options help make therapy more convenient for parents and busy people.
